| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? lewm - link to VE where I posted the graphs http://www.vinylengine.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6674&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=240Raul - as usual thank you for your ongoing insight...I have digressed a little the last few days in re... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,with the various capacitances and cartridges, what was the difference?Was there a quantifiable aspect to it?I have just finished testing my Shure 1000e/SAS across 5 Capacitances and 5 Impedances (25 tests in all for 150pf, 250pf, 350pf, 50... | |
| Digital Software RIAA EQ for Vinyl Hi Kirkus,your technical capabilites are well beyond mine....I understand the strengths and weaknesses of the digital environment (computers are where I make my living).And yep things get worse... as you drop signal levels below the -50db digital ... | |
| Digital Software RIAA EQ for Vinyl Hi Kirkus,Indeed there is - and care needs to be taken with the gain/amplification methods.... whether analogue or digital.But even in the final heyday of vinyl in the early 90's - work was done/proposed and presented at a couple of engineers conv... | |
| Digital Software RIAA EQ for Vinyl Also ClickRepair Equalizer - Freeware RIAA EQ that apparently covers phase as well as amplitude...http://www.clickrepair.net/software_download/equalizer.html | |
| Digital Software RIAA EQ for Vinyl I guess I will answer my own question....Based on researching other forums, talking to various people etc... I tracked down 3 options.. (hope this helps the next persons trying to find his/her way along this path!)1) Custom PlugIn developed by var... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel... nope you did not misstate my post.... my ear was once more educated (I used to work in a "hifi" shop in the 80's)... but it is something you have to practice....Years of living with Quad gear (although the speakers have now been rep... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder - regardless of the method and gear used, there are 2 schools of thought in audiophilia.... the "archivist/reproducers" and the "Musicians".... ie: those for whom the gear is intended to as closely as possible approximate the audio data ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ran a series of interesting tests...Using a Shure 1000e fitted with a Jico SAS N97xE stylus (generator is 650ohm / 500mH)I varied the capacitance (by switching measured C cables) through 130pf / 160pf / 450pf, and impedance (by switching impedance... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Shure Cartridges (M and V family) - reading a number of forums with regards to these in particular...A number of people are strongly suggesting impedance of around 60 to 70k with cap around 100pf.Comments and measurement reports appear to show a m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi folks,thanks Raul for the response - I am putting together a small collection of varied lightweight headshells (5g to 9g) so I can experiment....Is anyone familiar withe the Empire 4000XL ? How does it differ from the 4000DIII?Also the famous A... | |

Hi Travbrow,In my collection of cartridges I have a Sony XL-MC104 - one of the last gasps of high end Sony Vinyl.It only manages the first two tracks of the HFN tracking test.... but it still is a superbly sweet cartridge that never fails to surpr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So what are the best options for spacers?Given that most of these cartridges are mid to high compliance - weight is an issue.... so acrylic, thermoplastic are clear options, but what about lightweight woods? Balsa? Boxwood? What about Carbon Fibre... |
